Rare travelberlin Posted July 9, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I have been informed that the membership discounts do not apply if you are booking a special offer like Bingo or Superbingo. Is this correct? In other cruise lines, like Celebrity or Royal, you still get your membership benefits even if you book at a special rate.

sidari Posted July 9, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hi TravelBerlin ... I think you may not be being told the whole Truth, all the Grand Voyages are usually at discounted prices and we have done two already where Club membership 7 and 10% were taken off the cruise fare price as well as our current one to Dubai. Our Norway cruise on Opera also had the discount applied last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmoMondo Posted July 9, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I. Retain lay get my club discount on top of any promotions. Didn't used to a few years back. They used to day I couldn't use my club discount and a heavily discounted promos. That may have been the TA I used at the time though. I only paid £360 for 11 nights in a suite on the Armonia - that was after 20% club discount). Costa don't allow club and other discounts. My last cruise with them, it would have cost 50% more if I'd been logged on when I booked. Had to book as a non member to get the discount, then add on my membership later.

Rare travelberlin Posted July 10, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) In Germany and in South America, MSC does not give the membership discount by special offers. I have just cheked the terms in the information of benefits and in Germany it says, this discount "could not apply with this offer, check with MSC". My TA has checked with MSC and they say it does not apply. This means no membership's discounts if booking special offers. What does it say in the information of benefits in UK?

This the small print from the UK MSC Club web site and is taken from the terms and conditions I've highlighted the relevant sentence 3.

Alex71 Posted July 10, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2014 This must be new. Until now I've always been able to get the club discount deducted. I've been able to combine it either with the cruise later voucher, other promotions (such as kids cruise free) or special prices. The cruise later voucher was always more restriceted, but it seems the club discount is moving in the same direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
